Chicago Cubs Ship Carlos Zambrano to Miami Marlins

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to send malcontent pitcher Carlos Zambrano to the Miami Marlins.

The deal, which is pending physicals, requires the Cubs to pay $15 million of the $18 million owed Zambrano in 2012. He has a $19 million vesting option for 2013 if he finishes in the top four for the Cy Young Award.

The Cubs will receive right-handed pitcher Chris Volstad as part of the deal.

Zambrano has a full no-trade clause in his contract, but the thought of pitching for his friend and former Chicago White Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen may have played a role in negotiations.

Zambrano finished 9-7 in 24 starts with Chicago in 2011 with a 4.82 ERA.
